Keeping our customers' personal data secure

When customers use services available on the Air France website, mobile site, and mobile applications, Air France may collect and process their personal data. Air France and KLM (Amsterdamweg 55, 1182 GPO Amstelveen) are committed to respecting regulations concerning the privacy and data security of their passengers, loyalty program members, prospects and users of their websites, mobile sites and mobile apps. All data collected through the Air France website is processed in accordance with all local legislation and the terms laid out in the revised version of the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978.

To ensure the proper application of these regulations, Air France has appointed a Data Protection Correspondent who serves as the official liaison to the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL).

How does Air France use the data it collects?

Any personal data provided by customers on our website, mobile site and mobile applications, or during any other contact with Air France, is primarily used to book tickets and provide specific services: transportation, promotions, loyalty programs, web updates, marketing information, surveys, contests, new services or products, and statistics.

Personal data may also be used to provide the various services available on the Air France website, mobile site and mobile applications: user accounts, e-newsletters, managing reservations, assistance and claims, managing loyalty programs, etc.

Your personal data may also be analyzed to ensure that the information, notifications, promotions, and other services we provide are suited to your interests.

We may also enrich your personal data by sharing some information with certain business partners to improve our understanding of your interests so that we can deliver personalized offers and other services.

In addition, your personal data may be used to complete administrative formalities required for immigration and customs, prevent unpaid bills, combat fraud, and ensure flight safety and security.

Any event occurring during the fulfillment of the transport contract and liable to compromise the safety or security of a flight may be recorded and kept on file.

Who uses the personal data collected by Air France?

Personal data collected on the Air France website, mobile site and mobile applications may be communicated to authorized Air France personnel, its partners (KLM, SkyTeam, accredited travel agents, airlines, car rental companies, hotels, credit card providers, etc.), or external service providers in order to provide all or part of the services described above. Air France requires its service providers to implement strict measures to protect your data privacy.

As outlined by French and international laws and regulations, Air France, as well as any other airline, may be required to communicate personal data to authorized local authorities (customs, immigration, police, etc.) both in France and overseas. For example, this is done to complete required immigration formalities and to prevent and combat terrorism and other serious crimes.

Some of the parties mentioned above may be located outside the European Union and have access to all or some of the personal data collected by Air France (name, passport number, trip details, etc.) in order to fulfill the transport contract or comply with specific legal requirements.

How can you exercise your privacy rights?

As outlined by the French “IT security and freedoms” law, customers have the right to view, change, delete, or contest any personal data pertaining to them. Requests to exercise this right must be addressed to: Air France – Correspondant Informatique et Libertés – OD.AJ – 45, rue de Paris – 95747 Roissy CDG Cedex.

For some services, these rights may be exercised directly on the website (managing your personal account, reservations, loyalty program, etc.).

Unless you request otherwise upon or after the collection of personal data, Air France reserves the right to use or communicate your personal data to its partners in order to send personalized sales offers. When required by law, personal data will only be used for online prospection once your express consent has been obtained. At any time, you can request that personal data no longer be used for promotional purposes.

If you no longer wish to receive the Air France e-newsletter by e-mail, you can use the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each message.

If you do not wish to receive offers from Flying Blue and our partners, you can update the communication preferences in your profile by logging in
your Flying Blue account.

The provision of some services is dependent upon the collection of personal data (special meals, medical assistance, etc.). You can, of course, exercise the right to oppose the use of this personal data, but this may lead to your being unable to benefit from these services.

As stipulated by French and international laws and regulations, failure to provide data or providing incorrect data may lead to you being stopped from boarding or refused entry into a foreign country (upon decision by customs authorities, for example), in which case Air France cannot be held responsible.
